Frequent Internet disconnects a computer

I have 2 iMac (2009 and 2010) connected to a home network in the same room, using the AirPort base station. WiFi and cable at the same time. For some reason any No. 2 computer is frequently disconnected from the internet. I have reset the router and restart Safari and it doesn't work very well for a while, then again no internet. The computer no. 1 still works as it should.

Is - this problem is software or hardware related? I would like suggestions.

10.11.3 MacOS

On the 2nd iMac that loses the connection, go to: System preferences > network > click the cog box and select set Service order...

and drag the Ethernet connection to the top, and then click OK.

  • Equium A200-1V0 - Internet disconnects when I play a game

    I have an Equium A200-1V0, I'm guessin' I don't have to be precise with the form on this page to Toshiba, but its dual core 1.46 GHz, HDD 120 GB, 2 GB RAM and I can't seem to find the graphics of wht there (not very good for games).

    When I surfed net everythings good, usually, when I'm streaming shows and movies everythings good but when I play Runes of Magic of MMORPG after 20 minutes or until the internet disconnects. When you check wireless no possible networks appear, but the computer in the other room is still plugged on the wireless. If I turn off and turn on the connection, he begins to work for another 20 minutes (in game time), or fine for web browsing etc. I don't know what the problem is, but I was wonderinf what a graphics card fault or the network card expires? Is the game download too much data?

    How can I solve this problem, I've been looking at a portable game because I don't feel it's a fault of modem wireless but rather something wrong with the laptop.

    Help, please!

    Hi Huel,

    I can t say much about it because I've never heard of this game and I think that you should contact the manufacture of the game. Maybe it s a known issue and it s caused by the game.
    Check this box!

    Just the idea that I have right now is updated the WLAN driver. You can download the latest version here:

It will connect for a good hour, auto disconnect reconnect and has no internet access to about 15 minutes then has access to the internet

    Hi taylor1210,

    Welcome to the Microsoft community. According to the description of the problem your connection Internet disconnects randomly. Provide the following information:

    ·         You get the error message?

    ·         You use a third-party security software?

    I'll help you with this problem. I suggest you follow these methods.

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software .

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2:

    I suggest you to reset the TCP\IP stack and see that if this is useful, the following steps will help you reset the TCP\IP stack.
    1. to open a command prompt, click Start , and then click run. Copy and paste (or type) that follows the command in the Open box, and then press ENTER:
    cmd
    2. at the command prompt, copy and paste (or type) the following command and then press ENTER:
    netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
    Note If you do not specify a path of the directory for the log file, use the following command:
    netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
    3. restart the computer.

  • Firefox does not connect to the internet on this computer, if it does on another computer and Internet Explorer connects also with no obvious problems.

    About 1 year ago, I helped set up Firefox on my mother's computer. It worked fine until a couple of days. Now, he is more connected to the internet. The system is Windows XP, service pack 3. Internet Exporer connects to the Internet on this computer. Also, I have another computer with Firefox and it works without problem, wireless. We tried to remove Firefox and then reload and which did not help. We receive no error message. Internet and Firefox simply do not seem to see each other.

  • Internet "disconnected" on a regular basis

    I bought my Toshiba Equium A300D Tuesday, which came with Vista Home Premium and since then I had problems with the internet "disconnect" on a regular basis - I say "disconnected" because in reality there is nothing wrong with my connection to all the.

    I have a local network set in place with the A300D, an address book remove but not Toshiba, one and an old desk. The Office has a wired connection to my router and two laptops have wireless connections, but neither the second laptop or fixed, are having problems with the connection, only the A300D.

    My ISP reports no problem, and my router has been for more than a week now without requiring a reboot. On the A300D but I apparently lose connection on a regular basis, with my browser (which happens with Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer) don't find no connection and the pages won't load do not.

    Finally, if I try and refresh the pages, browsers just crash (and in the case of Firefox, it is often impossible to end the process with Task Manager, which means I'm unable to re - open). The Google Desktop Sidebar is also losing the connection too at the same time, as a number of other applications using internet connections, * but * Vista, when I try to 'diagnose and fix' the problem is said it isn't a problem, and a few other apps, my backup Carbonite and Skype service are the two remaining connected (and experience with my old laptop if there is internet connectivity problems Skype is usually the first thing to disconnect).

    At first, I thought it was a problem with Firefox (my main browser), but as is the case with others too, it doesn't seem to be a simple matter of Firefox. Malware scan (Windows Defender) and antivirus (Eset NOD32) come to clear back, and it makes no difference if my firewall (ZoneAlarm) is in place or not, and I tried it with just the WIndows firewall as well.

    Everything is going well for a while, but then suddenly I apparently lose the connection and once again, the only way to get it back is to restart, and once again things will be fine for a while until the browsers lose the connection (if as I said, Skype and Carbonite are still connected). At present on average I'll have to reboot every half hour or so, which is very frustrating and I'm getting little done for this reason.

    I tried to look on the Vista from MS community support forum and a number of people seem to have problems with Vista - I was unable to post my problem here but in regarding the site for some reason MS refuses to accept my Windows Live IDs, and a google also found similar problems that appear to be related with Vista and SP1.

    A number of discussions mentioned this could be linked with the TCP/IPv6 protocol, and that to disable TCP/IPv6 as a temporary workaround might work, and when I checked my connectivity TCP/IPv6 connection parameters has been showing as "limited." Disable TCP/IPv6 has however made no difference - I still have to restart every half an hour or two to get things running.

    I am at the end of my home here - at - it ideas?

    Try the following:

    (1) update the driver Wireless LAN from Toshiba Europe site

    (2) update the BIOS from the Web of Toshiba Europe site

    (3) update the Firmware on your Wifi router. Some routers have some compatibility problems with some wifi chipsets.

    (4) go to the Device Manager-> Wifi-> properties and disable power management, increase the output power, disable 802. 11A and others that you do not use.

    Hello

    Just because you clicked on send after writing the e-mail, does not mean he's actually gone.

    Open your e-mail, all program what it is and see if something is still in the Outbox.

    If there is, remove it, that means you have a problem with sending emails.

    OK, here's the problem. Just recently my computer has been disconnected from the internet. I'd watch the cable modem and it should be reset and then he would come back online. There is no problem with my hardward on Device Manager. The Cable Guy continues to tell me everthing works fine with the cable modem and my computer which is the cause of the problem. The problem happens only once in a while and different times. I havn't changed anything on my computer before starting to do. It was working fine before. I am also running windows vista, if this is useful all.

    Hi D_Sum,

    A. are there that lose the connection cable between the wall jack and the computer?

    B. recent changes made on your computer?

    Windows cannot make a cable mode is reset. The problem is the cable modem itself. You can update the firmware of the modem cable and also check the power source.
